At the original MSRP of $1300 at the time of writing, the Wemax Vogue Pro needs a bit of a closer look to justify the price tag over other projectors in the same price segment. For the same money, you can get brand name 4K projectors which are far brighter, for example. However, those are all lamp-based—an investment of hundreds of dollars should that light source eventually fail. On top of that, you don't get the "smartness" elements as with the Wemax Vogue Pro. That said, looking at other well-known 1080P based LED projectors out there, even at the potentially lower MSRP of $999, it is not a clear win as other LED-based projectors offer 2000+ ANSI Lumens brightness and fully fledged Android TV 10 at a similar price point. This is not meant to discount the unique 4-channel LED projection method over LED-lit DLP, of course, but the potential cost savings and brightness difference or general "bang for your buck" may outweigh that tech's potential benefits for the general consumer.

In terms of the product itself, the unit performs well and provides a very good viewing experience while remaining nice and quiet and delivering pungent sound. The Wemax OS, while providing a polished feel, doesn't manage to match the user friendliness Android TV or Google TV offer, and it is still missing communication features. On the upside, the projector allows for plenty of image tweaking while giving the user some user-friendly embedded apps. Speaking of apps: being its own OS, you do not get access to Google Play store. This is really unfortunate and a drawback of the Vogue Pro over similar products on the market. That sting is reduced a bit in reality as no matter what Android OS projectors use, the vast majority still require you to side-load Netflix from alternative app stores anyway, which ends up drawing people to official sticks like Roku, Apple TV or Google TV.

What you are left with is a compact, useful, and quiet quality product, but it limits the user too much through the departure from Google's own OS to something homegrown. And taking a look at the hardware, while still perfectly functional, it doesn't manage to match the specifications of other compact projectors that matter and clock in at a similar MSRP to boot.
